Le serviteur hault guerdonné-a R5:8 (aabba)

Language: 

fr

Composer: 

Dufay

Lauda: 

E’ servi tuoi Maria vengono a
te-a 5:11 (ababa)

Lauda Poet: 

Belcari

Notes: 

note: FallowsCat, 251-4; CarboniE, 461-4; WilsonSC, 87; BrownM, 93; CattinCI, 422. See MSD47 & FallowsD for reaffirmation of ascription to Dufay. Music ed. ThibaultM, 52 (Cord); HanenE, no.67 (EscB); PopeM, 333 (MC); CMM1/vi, no. 92 (Porto), BrownF, ii, 240 (different music in BR229). Widely cited and arranged by Isaac, Agricola, Pullois, Busnois, Hanart, et al.; see FallowsCat. See FallowsOR for discussion of Bedyngham’s (?) unrelated musical setting from Tr90. The lauda text is attributed to Ser Firenze in Gall4, but it appears in Belcari’s own collection, M690, and so must be his.

it

Composer: 

Johannes Cornago

Lauda: 

Maria mercé umile aquila altera

Morte o mercé gentil aquila altera-a 7:11/7 (ABCCDdE)

Language:

Composer: 

Johannes Cornago

Lauda: 

Anima mia contempla el mio patire BaMz3/4:11/7 (XYX ABbX CDdX...)

Lauda Poet: 

Feo Belcari

Notes: 

note: FallowsCat, 538-9; CattinR, 36; PopeM, 579-80. Music ed. GerberC, 43, 63 (EscB,Cord), Hanen, no.81 (EscB), CMM42, nos. 5,7 (Cord), ThibaultM, 18 (Cord), PopeM, 185 (MC). Text ed. PirrottaA, 149 (EscB). Cord = version A, EscB/MC = version B. For musically related piece, see Binchois’ ‘Mort en merchy’ (FallowsCat, 288; ed. KayeB, no.26 & RehmB, no. 32). Pirrotta describes the form of Cornago’s text as a ‘piccola canzone’; the sequence of 11 & 7 syllable lines in the first 7 lines of both cc. and lauda are identical.

Language:

Lauda: 

O mia regina o dolce madre bella
Str:11

Lauda Poet: 

Feo Belcari

Notes: 

note: variant ‘peregrina’ in Gall1. See FallowsCat, 544; CarboniE, 457-8; CattinNR, 230. Ed. ThibaultM (Cord, versions A & B), PopeM & LuisiLG (MC, version A in ballade form; see discussion in PopeM, 566), LuisiLG, ii, 245-6 (Pav362, version B, parody of ‘O rosa bella’), LuisiLG, ii, 247-8 (M176, canonic version C). Though ‘O pellegrina’ is not ascribed to Giustinian anywhere, and is probably not by him, it is transmitted in Venetian mss. and belongs to the broader tradition of giustiniane. It is the only strambotto in the cantasi comes sources traceable to a Venetian orbit.
